* More accurate distances in The General Catalogue of Trigonometric 
    Stellar Parallaxes
    The distances are now evaluated by reability of data (instead of 
      direct use of weighted absolute parallax). 
    The evaluation is based on standard error of parallax,
       quality of interagreement and number of parallax observation (few
       observations and poor quality will produce a more distance that the 
       standard error permits). This meaning that some distances will be 
       different from last version.
    Deep-sky objects descriptions: various sources. Some distances change
       for a better agreement with stars distances data.
